In the past, during this day, a rite was held to purify Mars' horns and trumpets which were used both in war and in many religious rites.
Today, being this day included in the period of Megalesia, the festivity of the Pine, sacre tree for Cybele, can be celebrated. A Pine, representing Attis - young Cybele's lover, is covered with wool strips and flowers.
